Description

The allegations of the complaint are that one John Craig died as the result of injuries received in an accident that happened at a street intersection in Bartow, Florida, where the stop and caution signals facing south had been out of order for about one day. It is alleged that Craig approached the intersection from the south at approximately the same time that a truck was approaching from te west. As Craig drove up to the intersection the traffic light was green for his lane of travel. As he got into the intersection the light suddenly changed from green to red without first showing the yellow caution signal, and at the same moment, the light for west and east travel changed from red to green without an intervening yellow caution signal. As the result, the truck traveling east did not stop but drove on into the intersection and ran into the car operated by Craig. It is further alleged that the City of Bartow, through its agents, had ample knowledge of the defective condition of the light, so that if reasonable care had been exercised the light could have been regulated and would have been operating properly at the time of the collision.
